A Mallee farmer still harvesting into the new year as he hopes for a better season in 2026, Broken Hill commercial and residential fruit growers desperate to rid the city of fruit fly, and farming waste being tested as possible material for furniture and home construction.

On this episode of the Nonsense Podcast, we kick off a New Year podcast episode with a wild Kelly Fact about how Italians used to celebrate New Year's Eve — by throwing furniture out the window to symbolize getting rid of the old and making room for the new… while also wearing red underwear for good luck. Naturally, this sparks a chaotic discussion about Assassin's Creed lore, how the franchise should've ended, and why Attack on Titan eventually became too much for FNBob despite being one of the most popular anime of all time.From there, we unfortunately (but inevitably) dive back into P. Diddy news, with Henvincible joking about parties returning if he's released, while FNBob fires back with jokes about someone throwing a party inside R. Kelly's old Chicago house — including an uncomfortable conversation about unused bathrooms.The episode shifts into full nerd culture podcast mode as the crew recaps their visit to Gundam Base Chicago, the first Gundam store in the United States, and later being invited to the Sonic Speed Café Chicago grand opening. We talk exclusive merch, themed food, pop-ups, and networking with other content creators and podcasters in the city.To close things out, FNBob taps fully into his ruthless positivity era, acknowledging that 2025 has already been a rough year, but forces the FN Crew to count their wins anyway — from Henvincible's streaming growth, Kelly's dog training success, and the continued growth of the Nonsense Podcast and FN Entertainment. A laid-back New Year reflection podcast episode packed with jokes, pop culture, gaming talk, and real moments.

The salient focus of today's discussion centers on the evolving dynamics within the furniture industry as we transition into 2026, with particular emphasis on consumer spending patterns, home decor sales, and the implications of logistical developments. As we conclude the year, it is imperative to analyze the modest yet positive growth observed in holiday retail spending, which has risen by approximately 4.2% year over year, indicative of a cautiously optimistic consumer base. Notably, while the furniture and home furnishing categories have experienced stable sales, they have not surged dramatically, suggesting a consistent demand that may be influenced by the broader economic climate. Furthermore, we delve into the implications of recent trends in the housing market, where an increase in pending home sales may herald a potential uptick in furniture purchases as new homeowners seek to invest in their living spaces. Collectively, these insights illuminate the necessity for industry professionals to remain vigilant and adaptable in their strategic planning, particularly in response to shifting consumer behaviors and logistical challenges that shape the landscape of furniture retail. A thorough examination of the current landscape within the furniture industry reveals a cautiously optimistic trajectory as we transition into 2026. The latest data indicates a modest growth in holiday retail spending, with an overall increase of approximately 4.2% year-over-year, signifying a sustained consumer interest despite the prevailing economic uncertainties. Notably, the furniture and home decor segment exhibited resilience, registering steady sales figures comparable to the previous year. This stability, while not indicative of a dramatic surge, underscores the potential for future growth as consumer confidence gradually rebuilds in the housing market. As we analyze the intricate interplay between consumer behavior and market dynamics, it becomes evident that the demand for home furnishings is inextricably linked to broader economic indicators, including housing trends and logistical costs. The logistics landscape presents a nuanced picture as well, with global container spot rates experiencing slight increases, particularly on routes from Asia to Europe. Such fluctuations may have implications for inventory management and cost structures for furniture manufacturers and importers alike. Furthermore, the housing market is showing signs of vitality, with pending home sales on the rise, suggesting a potential uptick in furniture demand as new homeowners seek to furnish their living spaces. Trends in consumer movement reveal that proximity to family is a significant motivator for relocation, indicating that certain regions are becoming increasingly attractive for buyers. This confluence of factors suggests that while the housing market is not experiencing a frenetic revival, it is slowly gaining momentum, creating opportunities for furniture retailers to align their strategies with emerging consumer needs. As we look forward to 2026, it is imperative for industry professionals to remain vigilant and adaptable. The blended retail landscape, characterized by the coexistence of in-store and online shopping experiences, necessitates a dual approach to marketing and inventory management. Consumers are increasingly utilizing digital channels for research and price comparison, yet they still value the tactile experience that physical stores offer. The challenge lies in harmonizing these two dimensions to effectively engage customers and meet their evolving preferences. In summary, the furniture industry stands at a pivotal juncture, where informed decision-making and responsiveness to market signals will be crucial in navigating the complexities of the forthcoming year.Takeaways:The modest increase in holiday retail spending, reported at approximately 4.2%,...

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: Have been listening to your podcast for awhile now and the more I listen to more questions come to mind. Here is my current one for a walnut waterfall bench I'm working on. The dimensions are approx 58”L x 18”W x 16”D. How should I join a shelf to this bench where the grain flows continuously from the legs up through the bench top? The shelf will also be a glued up panel with the grain running the same direction as the bench top. If I attach the shelf to the inside faces of the legs using a mortise and tenon joint, do I need to account for wood movement? The legs, benchtop, and shelf are all 1.75” thick. I would assume that given they're all the same thickness and technically the wood grain is in the same direction as the legs, just perpendicular, it would expand and contract together, and I could just glue the tenon. That said I don't want to guess and hearing Guy talk about furniture exploding has me concerned. If wood movement is a concern then what's the correct way to account for this movement? Should it be treated like a breadboard end with dowels through the tenons, installed through the bottom of the legs (the shelf sits 2 inches off the ground)? Or would it be better, and stronger, to use floating tenons/Dominos for this joint instead and just not glue the outside dominos and cut them loose to account for the expansion and contraction while gluing the center domino(s)? Thanks, Chayse Bell Thanks for the great podcast, I discovered your channel about a month ago and now listen all the time traveling to and from work. I've been woodworking a little over a year now and currently working on a dining table made from ash and have picked up all sorts of pearls that have helped with the glue up, apron design, finishing, etc., so thank you for all that. This question is directed to Brian, as he has mentioned that his shop is in his basement. I currently work out of my two car garage that I share with my wife's car. We just built the house in 2024 and I'm kicking myself that I didn't insulate the garage. These cold Northern Indiana days are making working in the garage pretty uncomfortable. I know I could just insulate it, but HVAC isn't attached to the garage either so to make it truly comfortable would be a big job/cost. So, Brian, can you share a little more about the layout/design of your basement shop? E.g. was it a room that existed that you converted into the shop or you framed the room specifically for a shop? How do you take extra precautions to make sure your family isn't affected by dust, as this is my primary concern. Obviously, I know of dust collection and dust filters, but it still concerns me to think I'd be working in the basement. Do you have anything you wish you did differently? We have an unfinished basement that is very open, so the sky would be the limit for me in the future before we finish it. Thanks, Evan Guys Questions: Somewhat recently I made a gift for my wife using White oak. I had predetermined that for a finishing schedule I wanted to first apply Danish oil, then seal it with shellac, and minwax performance series varnish for a top coat. I ran into an issue when I began to finish the piece. Not knowing a thing about wood porosity, I liberally applied watco Danish oil, and as a result I had a big problem with seepage. Now, my research had cautioned me that I would need to keep checking on the piece periodically for the next several hours after application to wipe up any seepage that came up. Even so, you this went on for so long that it became an issue. Two full days after application I was still wiping up seepage. I would wipe the piece down before bed at night, and when I'd check it in the morning there would be spots on the surface that took a considerable amount of effort to buff out. I couldn't keep up with it, and after a few days the surface was covered in spots, which meant that I had to start over.  As I mentioned previously, I could not find any information online regarding how to deal with this problem. Just to see what would happen, I decided to try aiming a heat gun at the work piece after it had been drying for a couple of hours. This worked phenomenally, and I could not have been more thrilled. Of course the heat didn't dry out the wood any faster or anything, but what it did do was vastly accelerate the seepage process. The oil was rapidly drawn up to the surface of the wood, where I could wipe it away, and after treating both sides in this manner for a total of perhaps 10 minutes it seemed that all of the excess oil had been drawn out. I wiped the work piece down and had no more issues.  Of, like with any application involving a heat gun, I had to keep it moving, otherwise it would start to bake the spots of oil onto the surface. Anyways, I just thought this was a neat trick that might come in handy with oil finishes if seepage is ever a huge issue. I hope you guys found this interesting. Zach Owens Hello from Chico, California! I have recently started listening to y'all's podcast while researching inspiration for reconfiguring and refining my workspace. I thank Guy for highlighting the importance of drawers, I realized that I previously had none. I am a hobbyist woodworker looking for advice on air filtration for my two car garage shop. It is approximately 3960 cubic feet, 22' x 20' x 9'. While working, the garage door and access door (detached garage with no climate control) is usually open, weather permitting, and tend to have good airflow and supplement with a box fan when needed. I have a Harbor Freight 2hp Dust Collector for my machines, cabinet saw, planer, jointer, and router table and do feel that this my be slighty under powered for my system. I do notice a fair amount of fine dust suspended in the air after milling operations and breaking down sheet goods on the table saw and a noteable layer of dust across the entire shop. I think that adding an air filter could help reduce fine particulate and could potentially allow me to work with doors shut when it is too hot or too cold. Do you think that adding an air filter makes a significant addition to air quality or should I look further into optimizing dust collection? If you feel an air filter is a worthwhile addition, what would you reccomend for an approximately 4,000 cubic foot shop? I have been looking at the WEN 3410 unit due to claimed CFM and cost. I have also contemplated building one with a second hand blower from an old furnace. I am mechanically inclined and competent with electrical. I also feel that timers and variable speeds are not needed. I would also add that whatever I decide, the garage is detached from the main house and there is a studio above that is rented out to a seperate individual and would like noise and resonance to be kept to a minimum. The only real estate I have available for air filtration is the ceiling. Thank you for your time. Nick Halverson Huys Questions: Longtime listener. Truly enjoy the podcast. I am considering upgrading my table saw to a contractor or cabinet model. The choice are really overwhelming. I get a lot of advice on different brands, phase of motor and should I buy new or used. Any advice appreciated. Greg I recently bought a small bandsaw mill (Woodmizer LX30) and am becoming an amateur sawyer, exclusively to supply lumber for my own projects.  Once I have dried lumber to an acceptable moisture content, what is the best way to store a few thousand board feet?  My kiln guy says I should store packs of dead-stacked lumber horizontally, wrapped in 6-mil plastic.  That sounds like a pain.  I'd prefer to forgo the plastic and store the lumber horizontally, on edge, in a rack, in my unheated pole barn - which, I should note, sometimes gets a wet floor in heavy rains.  Then I'd bring pieces into my shop for a few days to acclimate before machining.  What do you recommend for long-term lumber storage?

This podcast episode delves into the pivotal trends, challenges, and opportunities that will shape the furniture industry as we transition into 2026. Among the myriad topics discussed, the economic outlook emerges as a central theme, characterized by an anticipated weak start to the year followed by a promising rebound later on. The discussion highlights the complexities faced by retailers, including the potential impact of new tariffs and a shifting labor market, all while consumer spending is projected to experience modest growth. Furthermore, we explore the transformative influence of artificial intelligence, which is fundamentally altering retail dynamics and enhancing consumer engagement through sophisticated technologies. As we navigate these multifaceted landscapes, the episode underscores the necessity for businesses to adopt strategic innovations and embrace sustainability, ultimately revealing that the key to success in 2026 will lie in understanding and responding to a more discerning and intentional consumer base. A comprehensive examination of the furniture industry reveals a complex landscape as we approach the year 2026. The discussion commences with an analysis of the economic forecast, highlighting a dichotomy within the anticipated market conditions. Early projections suggest a sluggish start to the year, primarily due to external pressures such as potential tariffs, a softening labor market, and the persistent ambiguity surrounding interest rates. Nevertheless, a glimmer of optimism emerges; consumer expenditure on furniture and bedding is expected to rise, albeit modestly, by approximately 1.9%. The anticipated recovery in the housing market, characterized by a significant uptick in existing home sales, is poised to serve as a pivotal catalyst for growth within the industry. This backdrop sets the stage for further exploration of technological advancements, particularly the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence, which is now fundamentally transforming retail practices. The advent of generative engine optimization signifies a shift in consumer engagement, as customers increasingly seek tailored interactions over traditional keyword searches, thus necessitating a more sophisticated approach from retailers.Takeaways:The economic forecast for 2026 indicates a bifurcated narrative, with a weak initial phase followed by a robust conclusion, shaped by various unpredictable factors.Consumer spending on furniture is anticipated to grow, albeit modestly, reflecting a cautious yet persistent desire to enhance living environments amid inflationary pressures.The emergence of artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the furniture retail landscape, enabling smaller retailers to leverage sophisticated tools previously reserved for larger corporations.In the luxury market, consumer expectations are shifting towards sustainability and craftsmanship, necessitating brands to tell compelling stories about their products.The growing importance of sustainability is evident as consumers increasingly prioritize brands' ethical practices and environmental impact in their purchasing decisions.Retailers must adapt to the evolving expectations of consumers, particularly through experiential retail approaches that blend digital convenience with personalized service.Companies mentioned in this episode:Purple Innovation

The recent acquisition of Gainline Recline Intermediate Corp. by Manwa Holdings represents a transformative moment within the upholstery sector, heralding a new era of integrated production capabilities. This strategic maneuver, valued at approximately $58.7 million when factoring in debt, amalgamates the expansive manufacturing prowess of Manwa with the domestic production strengths of Southern Motion. Such consolidation is poised to provide retailers with a comprehensive upholstery solution that encompasses both offshore and domestic production options, thereby facilitating quicker product development and enhanced customization services. As we delve deeper into the ramifications of this acquisition, we shall also explore the ongoing tariff developments that continue to shape the industry landscape, particularly in light of the Supreme Court's impending rulings. Additionally, we will examine the prevailing sentiment within the market, which, despite lingering challenges, exhibits signs of cautious optimism as stakeholders prepare for the opportunities that 2026 may present.Takeaways:The acquisition of Gainline Recline Intermediate Corp. by Manwa Holdings signifies a substantial consolidation in the upholstery sector, enhancing both domestic production capabilities and global manufacturing efficiency.With the growing uncertainty surrounding tariffs, retailers are urged to remain vigilant as these political dynamics could significantly impact supply chain stability and operational costs.The recent findings from the Furniture Today Home Furnishing Sentiment Index reveal a cautious optimism among industry professionals, indicating a potential recovery in market conditions over the next six months.The increase in shipping container rates, driven by capacity constraints and seasonal demand, underscores the fragility of the current logistics environment, necessitating strategic adjustments by retailers and manufacturers alike.Millennol's mixed quarterly results illustrate the divergent trajectories within the furniture sector, where overall sales may decline while certain segments demonstrate growth, reflecting a complex market landscape.The impending closure of Tusker's Home Store after nearly two decades serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by independent retailers in an evolving market.

Foundations of Greatness – Training Young Horses Roundtable with some of the best in the business. Dive deep into the world of starting cutting horse prospects with three of the industry's most respected horse trainers: Wes Ashlock (Abilene, TX), Richard Jordan (Idaho), Gregg Garvie (Canada). In this candid roundtable recorded live at the NCHA Futurity, Fort Worth, Texas, these unsung heroes of the cutting horse world pull back the curtain on the often-overlooked art of building foundations for future champions. From day-one colt starting and teaching horses to "reach for an answer," to sourcing yearlings, navigating sales pressure, and the emotional highs and lows of seeing "your" horse succeed under another trainer—these guys hold nothing back. With humor, humility, and hard-earned wisdom, they discuss: *wildly different training styles that all produce winners *spotting "the freak" early (and knowing when greatness is already inside the horse) *evolving beliefs, favorite failures, and the worst advice they've ignored *the thrill (and terror) of million-dollar sales *why the best horses teach the trainer more than the other way around Whether you're a trainer, breeder, owner, or just love great horses and real talk, this episode reminds us there's no single path to excellence—just relentless pursuit, gratitude, and a deep respect for the animal.

This podcast episode elucidates the intricate developments surrounding American Signature's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, wherein the U.S. Trustee has articulated significant objections regarding potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Trustee asserts that the affiliations among American Signature, SB360 Capital Partners, and other associated entities, all linked to the Schottenstein family, necessitate a thorough scrutiny to safeguard the bankruptcy estate's integrity. As the dialogue unfolds, we explore the implications of these proceedings on the broader furniture industry, particularly in light of the recent slowdown in sales momentum, as evidenced by the Department of Commerce's latest report. Furthermore, I will delve into the optimistic forecasts for manufacturing revenues in 2026, juxtaposed against the persistent challenges posed by rising raw material and labor costs. Lastly, we shall examine emerging trends within the market, including the burgeoning popularity of gaming furniture that reflects contemporary consumer behaviors, thereby providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of the industry.Takeaways: The bankruptcy proceedings of American Signature are under scrutiny due to potential conflicts of interest involving the Schottenstein family. Sales data indicates a troubling trend in the furniture industry, with only a minimal increase over the previous year's October figures. Manufacturers anticipate a promising financial outlook for 2026, expecting a revenue growth of approximately 4.4%. The introduction of multifunctional gaming furniture at the High Point market reflects evolving consumer lifestyles and preferences. Brandhouse Collective's disappointing sales figures underscore the challenges faced by retailers during the transition to Bed, Bath and Beyond. The ongoing rise in raw material and labor costs continues to challenge margin stability within the furniture manufacturing sector.

The furniture industry stands on the precipice of significant transformation as we approach the conclusion of 2025, with forecasts indicating that holiday spending may surpass the unprecedented $1 trillion mark for the first time in history. This episode examines the intricate dynamics shaping our market, including a notable 3.7 to 4.2% growth in spending compared to the previous year and the stabilization of furniture sales following a challenging three-year downturn. We delve into the implications of shifting consumer demographics, particularly highlighting the increasing polarization of income among shoppers, which influences purchasing behaviors and priorities. Furthermore, we explore the burgeoning role of artificial intelligence within retail, anticipating that its integration will redefine the sales landscape and customer interactions. As we navigate these multifaceted trends, we underscore the necessity for retailers to adapt strategically to seize the opportunities presented by both consumer demands and technological advancements.The exploration of the furniture industry in this episode presents a multi-faceted overview of the current and emerging trends as we approach the end of 2025. The presenters detail the heightened expectations surrounding the holiday shopping season, forecasting a historic surge in consumer spending that is set to exceed $1 trillion, marking a significant milestone in retail history. With consumer behavior reflecting a sense of urgency as the shopping season progresses, the discussions around Super Saturday highlight the anticipated participation of nearly 159 million consumers, suggesting an unprecedented level of engagement. This optimistic consumer sentiment is mirrored in the furniture sector, where sales have experienced a minor yet positive year-on-year increase, emphasizing a resilient retail environment amidst broader economic fluctuations. The dialogue delves into critical economic factors influencing the industry, particularly the ramifications of tariffs and the specter of potential layoffs that loom over the market. Despite these challenges, there are illuminating prospects, such as the robust balance sheets of homeowners, which are characterized by substantial equity that could drive future remodeling and furniture purchases. The presenters articulate the implications of growing income polarization, where lower-income consumers face declining incomes while wealthier households enjoy increased financial stability. This disparity necessitates that retailers reassess their approaches to meet the diverse needs of consumers, from budget-conscious shoppers to affluent buyers seeking premium offerings. Looking ahead, the conversation pivots towards the transformative impact of technology and artificial intelligence on the retail landscape. The presenters suggest that the retail sector is on the cusp of an autonomous era, where AI will play a pivotal role in reshaping customer interactions and operational efficiencies. They emphasize the need for sales professionals to evolve, moving beyond traditional sales tactics to embrace a more consultative and relationship-driven approach. The discussion concludes with a call to action for industry stakeholders to remain agile and innovative, harnessing the potential of emerging technologies and adapting to the changing consumer landscape, thereby positioning themselves advantageously in an evolving market.Takeaways: The holiday season of 2025 is projected to witness unprecedented consumer spending, crossing the $1 trillion threshold for the first time ever. Furniture sales have stabilized after a challenging three-year downturn, positioning the industry for potential growth in the forthcoming year. Economic factors such as homeowner equity and tax refunds are expected to drive significant consumer spending in early 2026. Income polarization among consumers is...

This episode of Furniture Industry News elucidates the remarkable performance of certain home furnishings retailers during the recent holiday season, particularly highlighting the success of companies such as 1915 South and Morris Furniture, which experienced significant sales increases attributed to astute marketing strategies, well-prepared showrooms, and enticing financing options. Despite these successes, we confront a more sobering reality, as the industry grapples with substantial financial setbacks, evidenced by the bankruptcy or closure of seven major retailers since early 2024, resulting in a loss of over $3.8 billion in sales. Within this tumultuous economic landscape, we examine the mixed signals emanating from various market indicators, including a notable decline in consumer confidence coupled with a modest uptick in existing home sales and mortgage rates. Importantly, the consumer sentiment survey reveals a pronounced inclination towards comfort and coziness, suggesting a lucrative opportunity for retailers who can align their offerings with this prevailing desire. Ultimately, while we navigate through the challenges and uncertainties of the current market, there exists a compelling argument for those who prioritize listening to consumer needs and adapting their strategies accordingly.Takeaways: The recent holiday sales period has demonstrated remarkable growth among several key home furnishings retailers, particularly noted through significant increases in sales figures during Black Friday weekend. While many retailers have experienced a positive uptick in sales, some companies, such as Miskelly Furniture, reported disappointing results when compared to the previous year's performance. The financial landscape for the furniture industry has been tumultuous, with seven major retailers filing for bankruptcy since 2024, indicating a severe strain on the market. Despite the challenges facing the industry, there are encouraging signs of stabilization among U.S. furniture manufacturers, evidenced by a significant increase in new orders and improved shipment rates. Consumer sentiment, as revealed by recent surveys, indicates a strong preference for comfort during the winter months, presenting a unique opportunity for retailers to cater to this desire for coziness. Looking ahead, the National Retail Federation projects a modest increase in holiday sales, fostering a cautiously optimistic outlook amidst economic uncertainties.

We are kicking off a special three-part holiday series! For the next few weeks, Caroline, Taryn, and Liz are each taking a turn replaying their absolute favorite holiday episode from the podcast archives. To start us off, Caroline revisits Episode 117 with Richmond interior designer Janie Molster. Caroline chose this episode because it completely changed her philosophy on holiday decorating. Janie explains why you don't need to force "red and green" if it doesn't fit your home, sharing her secrets for a holiday look that feels traditional yet surprising. She covers everything from managing a "hodgepodge" family tree to wrapping oddly shaped gifts. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Coordinate, Don't Clash: Your holiday decor should enhance your room, not fight with it. If your room has a pink and blue palette, use pink or blue ribbon and ornaments rather than forcing traditional red and green. The "Squint" Test: To ensure your tree has that professional glow, step back and squint your eyes at the lit tree. This blurs the details and highlights any dark "holes" where you need to add more lights. Unify with Ribbon: If you have a family tree filled with mismatched sentimental ornaments, use a high-quality, wide-wired ribbon to weave through the branches. It acts as a unifying element that ties the whole look together. What You'll Hear on This Episode: 00:00 Caroline introduces the Holiday Throwback series 02:00 How to decorate a "Pink House" for Christmas 04:00 Janie's tip for layering different types of greenery (magnolia, holly, pine) 06:00 Choosing a ribbon color that matches your permanent decor 08:00 Strategies for decorating a tree with kids and family ornaments 11:00 The "Butcher Paper" hack for wrapping large or oddly shaped toys 14:00 Lighting tips: The "Squint Test" and using dimmers 16:00 Decorating Dilemma 1: How to handle a bedroom with awkward dormer windows (Wallpaper is the answer!) 23:00 Decorating Dilemma 2: Furniture layout for a 70s build family room 32:00 Closing thoughts Also Mentioned: Janie Molster Designs | Website Follow Janie on Instagram: @janiemolsterdesigns Butcher block paper (Home Depot) for gift wrapping Shop Ballard Designs Please send in your questions so we can answer them on our next episode!

Joseph Sternberg Joseph Sternberg analyzes the BBC political bias scandal, which is significant because the BBC is "omnipresent" and arranges the "mental furniture for British society," noting the BBC, funded largely by a mandatory license fee, faced allegations ranging from deceptive editing of President Trump's remarks to the Arabic service pushing Hamas propaganda potentially fueling anti-Semitism, while domestically discussing the UK Labour Party's dilemma over controversial immigration policies to control illegal channel crossings, a crisis that has strengthened Nigel Farage's Reform party.
